They can't persuade people to become leftists by using the facts, or logic, or reason; so they spend all their energy trying to claim that everyone who disagrees with them is blinded to the truth.
They can't persuade people to agree with them, they pour all their energy trying to come up with theories to explain why people aren't persuaded.

2/ Woke activists to work their way into posisitons of authority within institutions, make wokeness the overarching ideology of the institution (in this case the USA government), and then use the authority, prestige, resources, and power of the institution to spread woke ideology
3/ This has been going on in the DOI since at least 2012, when the DOI began to push it's Diversity and inclusion initiatives.
by 2012 diversity and inclusion are beginning to seep into the mission of the DOI:
There is a social problem I am trying to figure out how to solve. I can't name it, but it revolves around a pair of observations:
1. We can't optimize society for personal and social autonomy when most people get their meaning from family and community obligations.
And....
2. Most people are not capable of building their own place in society and designing their own social roles from scratch, so they aim for roles that already exist. (Hence the term "role model")
The "build your own social role" way of life only works for a tiny number of people...
This really only works for certain types of "creatives." People who are so talented and creative that they don't fit into existing social roles. (Extreme examples of this are Isaac Newton, Jimi Hendrix and Micheal Jordan)
In other words: artists, intellectuals, entepreneurs, etc
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the agency in charge of public health, is totally captured by woke ideology.
NIH is putting DEI into every aspect of public health including research, funding, and hiring.
NIH goes woke,
A thread🧵
2/ It is not just that the NIH is adopting some woke policy around the edges, the NIH has stated very explicitly that "diversity is our lifeblood" and that the NIH is going to make DEI a "Core Value" in everything it does.
NIH it has set up an enormous bureaucracy to fund this:
3/ The NIH has an Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, which employs more than 45 people to focus on DEI initiative. Those people are listed below:
1/ The National Science Foundation gave 270 MILLION DOLLARS to bring Critical Social Justice/woke into science
The NSF ADVANCE program exists solely to advance Gender Equity using the Intersectionality framework of Critical Race Theory
The Woke corruption of science
A thread🧵
2/ This next bit is key:
The NSF is the federal agency that funds science and engineering in the United States. Accounting for 25% of all science funding in the U.S., the NSF plays a huge role is deciding which research and which ideas get funding in science and engineering.
3/ This means the NSF can do two things:
1. Signal to the rest of the scientific community about which research goals should be adopted
2. Use it's funding power to incentivize scientists to go in the direction it wants. AKA: Do what NSF wants or you don't get funding.
2/ "Ratioing" someone is supposed to be a way of showing the opinion of person being ratio'd is genuinely unpopular. So an *ORGANIC* ratio is a genuine expression of popular sentiment.
But the "ratio's" Fuentes gets are inorganic and manufactured.
I'll explain...
3/ The "meta" of Fuentes account is Groyper activism and trolling.
As such, his account attracts and collects a certain type of very active follower: the kind who likes to engage in collective online troublemaking (swarming, brigading, ratio-ing, trolling, and so fourth).
